Articulation, Accents, Hairpins

b. 26-27

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt II

Two  signs in GC (→GE)

Two-bar  in FE (→EE)
..

One  sign in FE (→EE) is most probably an arbitrary decision of the engraver of FE. It is proved by bars 214-215, in which all sources have a one-bar-long compatible , which in the manuscripts, hence also in the base text to FE, was marked only as repetition of the discussed bars.

b. 28

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt II

Different accents in GC (→GE)

Long accent in FE

Short accent in EE1

Two short accents in EE2
..

In the main text, we give the accents, long and short, on the basis of the clear notation of GC (→GE). The omission of the second one in FE is probably a result of the engraver's oversight. The EE1 version is a typical misrepresentation of a long accent, and GE was the probable inspiration for the EE2 revision.

b. 31

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt II

No mark in the sources

Accent suggested by the editors
..

In the main text we suggest an accent in line with the analogous bar 11. Similarly in bar 219.

b. 34

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt II

..

In the main text we give two accents written in GC, since the top one (short) could have been added there by Chopin, despite the presence of the bottom one (long).

b. 37

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt II

Wedge in GC (→GE)

No mark in FE (→EE)
..

The absence of the wedge in FE (→EE) is most probably an oversight of the engraver. Anyways, Chopin's resignation from the sign seems to be highly unlikely.
